Song Saa is on a hat-trick after victories at Huntingdon and Chepstow. The form of both races has been franked but this will be her first try on faster ground and her handicap debut. Carinena needs forgiving a poor run at Haydock but can't be ruled out on earlier form. Warwick third Dubh Eile shouldn't be far away but the going may have turned against Presenting Rose and My Little Cracker looks to have plenty of weight. WHATDOESTHEFOXSAY was behind Dubh Eile at Aintree a year ago but enjoys a 20lb turnaround in the weights today and last month's sixth at Haydock hinted at a revival. She gets a tentative vote, though Daytripper and Lochnell would also have decent claims. High Fair was a big-priced winner of this 12 months ago but a repeat looks unlikely.
